HEADLIGHT DIMMER AND TURNSIGNAL SWITCH
12X002a
For high beam, push the lever forward. Pull it back for low
beam. For the headlight flasher, pull it further back.
A blue light in the instrument cluster indicates high beam or
headlight flasher is on.
The headlight flasher works even when the headlight switch is
off.
12X003a
For signaling turns, move the lever up or down in the
conventional manner.
The ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
The turn signal is self −cancelling after a turn, but after a lane
change, you may have to cancel it by hand. You can also signal
a lane change by moving the turn signal lever partway and
holding it there.
If the green light in the instrument cluster flashes faster than
normal, it indicates that the front or rear turn signal bulb has
burned out. If this indicator light does not come on, the fuse
or the indicator light itself has probably failed.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you must do the
following.
Always make sure the hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept completely inside
the vehicle before you close the power quarter
windows. If someone’s hands get caught in a closing
window, it could result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the power quarter windows, make
sure he/she operates the windows safely.
 When small children are in the vehicle, never let them
use the power rear quarter window switches without
supervision.
 Be sure to remove the ignition key when you leave
your vehicle.
 Never leave anyone (particularly a small child) alone
in your vehicle, especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could use the power
quarter window switches and get trapped in a
window. Unattended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious accident.
EMERGENCY FLASHER SWITCH
12X503a
To turn on the emergency flashers, push the switch. To
turn them off, push the switch again.
All the turn signal lights will flash. The emergency flashers will
work with the engine running or off and with or without the
ignition key.
Turn on the emergency flashers to warn other drivers if you
must stop your vehicle where it might be a traffic hazard.
Always pull your vehicle as far off the road as possible.
The turn signal light switch will not work when the emergency
flashers are in operation.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the switch on longer than necessary when the
engine is not running.

AUDIO
222(c) Your power antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio is on, and
retracts
when the radio mode is off. However, even if you turn
off the radio when the radio on the rear seat audio system is on,
the antenna does not retract.
21X509
To adjust the height of the antenna manually, push the
switch at either side, this may be performed during
antenna extension. The maximum extension length is 850
mm (33.5 in.).
Every time you turn the radio on, the antenna will extend to its
previous position.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with a clean dry cloth.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is
close enough to get injured.
NOTICE
 Retract the antenna when entering or passing
through low structures, such as a garage or an
automatic car wash. Failure to do so may damage the
antenna.
 The antenna mast has to be extended higher than 100
mm (3.94 in.) length when the audio is on. Extend the
antenna mast when the radio signal is weak.
 Putting a film (especially a conductive or metallic
film) on the righthand rear quarter window may
affect the reception of radio or mobile telephone. For
the installation of the film, consult with your Lexus
dealer.

Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
21X511a
Push these buttons to choose either an AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the display.
If your vehicle is equipped with satellite radio broadcast
system, when you push the “AM·SAT” button, “AM”,
“SAT1”, “SAT2” or “SAT3” station appears on the display. For
details about satellite radio broadcast, see “Radio operation
(XM satellite radio broadcast)” on page 228
21X554
Turn this knob to the right to step up the station band or
to the left to step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.
